BSO + BSO Resound (the world’s first disabled-led ensemble,) bring a relaxed, sensory-friendly concert to WMC, plus a free art workshop beforehand. Come and listen to classical and family favourites, from Haydn’s Symphony No 8 to Walking on Sunshine from Katrina and the Waves. Plus, this relaxed performance with low lighting means you can move around, make noise, come and go as you need. 

The concert brings to life the feeling when we journey from night to day; from mystical creatures and serene dreams, through to the breaking of a new day and the sun shining down on us. Let’s start with a bedtime story and journey through the magical and mystical night sky.

Arrive early for the free pre-concert art workshop where you’ll make concert props like suns, moons and nocturnal animals.

This relaxed performance by Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, BSO Resound (the world’s first disabled-led ensemble, as part of a professional orchestra’s core activities) and members from National Open Youth Orchestra, bridges old and new, and features orchestral instruments alongside the groundbreaking electronic Clarion. This concert is presented by BSO Associate Sam Mason using Makaton signs.
